Chapter 73 Assassination
"Get out of the way, everyone! If you don't want to die, move to the side!" A puppet soldier wearing the uniform of the Northeast Army but with a yellow hat on his head shouted in the front.
In particular, one puppet army officer was the most conspicuous. He was riding a horse with a whip in his hand, swinging it on the street with a "snap" and "snap" sound, which actually created a feeling of blasting the street.
Why do some Chinese people become traitors? Why are there so many traitors in the eyes of the Chinese?
Of course, every traitor has his own reasons for becoming a traitor to the Khan.
Humans, as thinking animals, will always find a reason or excuse for their behavior.
Don't talk to some people about patriotism, like the puppet soldier waving a horsewhip in front of you.
Before the Japanese came, he was a man surrounded by scandals and was despised by his neighbors.
What is called "digging up the graves of ex-families and kicking the doors of widows" is exactly what he did.
And using one of his famous quotes, it can fully reflect his character. Of course, it was just a joke, but it is enough to illustrate his character. The quote is "It's not that I'm not a human being, it's just that my sister-in-law is too beautiful!"
This is the guy. When the Japanese came, he felt that his chance to turn things around had come, so he turned around and defected to the Japanese army, and thus he became the one who is now relying on the power of others to bully others.
His so-called behavior of thinking about his sister-in-law is shameful. His reason is that his sister-in-law is too beautiful.
He became a traitor because he felt that everyone owed him something and he had suffered a lot. He didn't care about who was Chinese or Japanese. Whoever gave him milk was his mother. He wanted to make up for the "unfair treatment" he had received.
At this moment, he was so arrogant, he looked around with disdain, and was so awesome!
But he didn't know that someone in the crowd at the entrance of the alley not far away was muttering, "The bastard today isn't the real boss. Let him live for two more days!"
Just after the voice finished muttering, the puppet army that led the way passed by, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers riding tall horses appeared behind them.
With the contrast of the horse and the distinctive uniforms of the Japanese soldiers, the Japanese soldiers on horseback appeared even more aggressive.
The Japanese officers and soldiers on horseback were all looking at the Chinese people who were avoiding the Chinese people on both sides of the street. At this time, the highest-ranking Japanese colonel among them snorted and muttered something in Japanese to express his disdain.
What he said was: "Humph! China!"
But Buddha said that all beings are equal. I really don’t understand where this Japanese colonel’s sense of superiority comes from!
Because at this time gunshots were heard.
The "ta ta ta" sounds of the machine guns and the "bang bang bang" sounds of the box guns mixed together in an instant, directly drowning out the noisy and dull sound of horses' hooves.
Both the tall Japanese horses and the short Japanese men fell to the ground at the sound of gunfire, and the streets became chaotic.
The Japanese colonel who had just been so proud and arrogant died a miserable death.
He was shot first and fell off his horse, and then a horse behind him, frightened by the gunshot, stepped directly on his head with its huge hoof!
Such sudden attacks occurred frequently after the Japanese army occupied Jinzhou, and they were not limited to Jinzhou.
"Since the outbreak of the Mukden Incident and the clash between the Japanese army and Zhang Zemin's army, Zhang Zemin's army, which had assembled near Jinzhou, and the Jinzhou Provisional Government, had dispatched bandits and plainclothes troops to endanger Japan's interests by all means and attempted to disrupt the rear. Although Zhang Zemin and his subordinates outwardly professed non-resistance, they secretly encouraged hostile actions against the Japanese army. This is a fact." - Excerpt from "Japanese Diplomatic Documents: The Manchurian Incident"
"Whether they are Japanese officers, puppet army leaders, or traitors from the plainclothes team, we will kill them all as soon as we get the chance!" When Liu Guodong, who had just returned to the base after completing his mission, said this with great passion while standing in the yard of the kitchen, he received cheers from the people around him.
The Japanese colonel was killed after Liu Guodong and his men disguised themselves and sneaked into Jinzhou City, and Wang Laomao also went with him.
"Captain Liu said it very well!" someone said loudly at this time. It was Hou Kanshan.
One has to admire Hou Kanshan for his vision. What he said was timely and the compliments were just right.
Should Liu Guodong's words actually be praised? Of course they should be praised.
But at this moment, Liu Guodong glanced at Hou Kanshan and smiled, then asked mischievously, "What do you think of what I said?"
"Ah?" Hou Kanshan was stunned by the question.
He was just complimenting out of habit, and he really couldn't say what Liu Guodong said well.
"Platoon Leader Wang, some of your men care about me!" Liu Guodong winked at Wang Laomao again.
Wang Laomao, who had been listening to Liu Guodong's words, felt his face burning. He thought to himself, you dead monkey, why don't you be more considerate of others instead of flattering them?
Wang Laomao chuckled. Just as he was about to say something, Qian Chuan'er spoke up beside him, "I think what Captain Liu said is right. It's that one pot of stew you mentioned that's right!"
"Hmm?" Liu Guodong looked at Qian Chuan'er. He really wanted to know how this soldier with a small nose and small eyes could justify himself.
"Cook them all in one pot! Hehe." Qian Chuan'er continued, "It doesn't matter if they're traitors, puppet soldiers, or Japanese. We'll kill them all if we can. This is a famous Northeastern dish, a hotchpotch! Throw them all in one pot and kill them all!"
"Well said! Hahaha!" Liu Guodong laughed out loud with his head tilted back.
Then he looked around at the cooks under his command and said, "Look at how good Platoon Leader Wang is at speaking."
But just as he finished speaking, when he looked around, he noticed a thin soldier sitting at the foot of the wall.
What does it mean to be like sitting? Sitting means sitting and lying means lying down. How can it mean to be like sitting?
It’s because the soldier was sitting, but there was no stool under his butt!
"Oh!" Liu Guodong became very curious, and he sent the people off separately and went there.
The soldier was gritting his teeth and persevering in the corner at this moment, with beads of sweat dripping down his temples!
"Old Huo, is this your apprentice?" Liu Guodong called out.
"No, I just want him to exercise." The old soldier from his kitchen team responded, still holding his pipe in his hand.
"You don't have to stand up, just squat like this, horse-riding squat, hehe." Liu Guodong laughed. Of course he knew the signature training method of the old man in the kitchen team, that is, Old Huo.
"What's your name?" Liu Guodong asked.
At this moment, the soldier was struggling to hold on using the horse stance from martial arts.
It was already the end of November and the weather was very cold, but he was sweating on his temples from squatting, which showed that he was exerting a lot of effort. Moreover, he was shivering all over.
Anyone who has practiced the horse stance in martial arts knows that ordinary people can perform the movement or squat for a minute or two, but most people cannot do it for a longer period of time because their legs simply cannot bear it!
But at this time, how could Liu Guodong, as the company commander, not answer the soldier's question?
So he finally opened his mouth with gritted teeth and said, "Sir, my name is Shang Zhen."
Isn’t he Shang Zhen?
He had been squatting in horse stance for a while, gritting his teeth to hold on, and now he finally let out the anger when he spoke.
You have to know that Shang Zhen is shy when meeting people, but that doesn't mean he stutters. It was just that it was very difficult for him to squat in the horse-riding squat position, so he had to speak to Liu Guodong with great effort.
Now that he had finished speaking, he sat down on the ground with a thump.
